Kenmore Progressive Canister Vacuum - Superior Cleaning

Cleaning floors and furniture is now a simple process with the Kenmore Progressive canister vacuum. A 2-motor system, retractable cord storage, Stair Grip and variable speed settings make carpet and bare floor cleaning a cinch. This vacuum's true HEPA filter keeps pet dander and dust out of the air so you can breathe easy. From the 7-foot hose that swivels 360 degrees and reaches the highest surfaces to the Horsehair dusting brush for fine wooden furniture and floors, this vacuum has the tools to get the job done.

Powerful suction pulls dirt from deep within carpeting, rugs and upholstery, while providing enough airflow to make cleaning hard surfaces a breeze.

The 360-degree swivel hose eliminates twisting and tangling, so you have the flexibility you need for a deep clean in any direction.

The LED electronic indicator lets you know when the dust bag is full or the hose is clogged, so you can fix it quickly and get back to cleaning.

Ideal for all types of cleaning, the variable speed control lets you adjust the vacuuming speed based on the amount of dust and dirt you're picking up.

This is a great vacuum

It is really easy to move around. It's not very loud, but has really good suction. It has a really long cord, and is easy to put away. It's great value for the money. It can roll upright or laying down. It's good for carpet and hardwood floors. The power button is big and easy to hit. The auto retract cord feature is good - means you don't have to wrap cord around. It has nice components to clean furniture. I would recommend this vacuum cleaner.

Smell.....

Read the other reviews --- some mention the odor --- burning oil? Burning wire? I have no idea but it's there. Picked it up for Black Friday for a good price but when we got it home the smell filled the house pretty quick. Took it outside and ran it for 40 minutes to try to air it out, and tried it again today --- smell is still there so back to sears it went. To bad because other than that, it works pretty good. One other thing ---- the hose comes straight out the top (take a look and imagine pulling it around) so it's going to break pretty quickly. The cord is short and the hose is short ----- I could live with all that if we could just solve the smell. Oh well, returned it and still looking, hope you have better luck.

I have used this vacuum for a few months, Now I start to vacuum and within 5 minutes the vacuum stops I lay it down and maybe 10 minute it will start back up again. That is how I vacuum my house. Biggest wast of $50.00. The old saying, you get what you pay for is so true. I have to go buy another vacuum now.

I bought this July 2014 and it is terrible! It scratches my floors and leaves a black residue on them and now 4 months later the bottom metal frame is broke. I would not recommend this especially if you have to clean your floors daily.

Works ok although the chemical odor is still there when operating the vacuum 2 years later.
Good luck finding bags.
Sears had no bags in the store when I bought the vacuum and they were also out of stock online. 2 years later they are still out of stock.
NOBODY is selling bags that fit this vacuum.

There is no suction at all with this canister vacuum. And it is sold as "extra-suction". I purchased the warranty and 3 year replacement and can assure you that it will be returned. It was purchased as a gift and I'm embarrassed that I need to return/replace it.

The description for this vacuum states that it is a "True HEPA" filter. It is NOT! There are no HEPA filters in the unit and there are none available separately. Even the exhaust filters 85005 are not available through the parts system at Sears. The unit is described in the parts system as "Disposable". Don't buy it if you want good HEPA filtration.

I don't like the floor tool at all. I wish you had stayed with the original floor tool. The Kenmore canister I bought from Sears was blue and was a little more compact and it had strong suction. It also used the "I bag". That floor tool was perfect, at least for me. I don't like the metal on the bottom or the fact that I have to clean the bristles constantly. Change it back. I should've of brought it back but I needed something right away. Better yet I'm going to a vacuum repair shop to find a floor tool I can fit to this one, if I can find the extensions then I'm sure I'll find the floor tool.
